Abstract
A terminology for discussing diagrams is offered. In part this terminology arises from the use of a grammatical analogy to identify the key features of graphic displays which express relationships. In this chapter a three-dimensional taxonomic model is presented which shows the relationship between the fundamental design variables available for diagramming. This spatial model may be used as a conceptual tool for diagram designers.
